The pale wood walls suggest calm while the cavernous room's soft carpet encourages stockinged feet. Dashes of clove, lavender and geranium reinforce the sentiment that this is a space meant for curling up and watching your favorite film.

LAFCO "Media Room" Spike Lavender Candle

Many candles are made entirely from paraffin, a petroleum by-product. LAFCO's wax blend is majority soy, which is naturally derived from vegetables and 100% biodegradable.

Not all soy wax blends are created equally; some soy blends contain considerable amounts of paraffin. An easy way to tell is by touching and inspecting the wax – a higher soy content candle (like LAFCO) is hard and opaque, while a low soy content candle will be translucent and can feel soft and oily.

Once you have enjoyed your candle it will self extinguish with approximately ½” of wax remaining.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR CANDLE

If you are planning to burn more than one candle at once in your home, choose fragrances from the same category (floral fragrances with other floral fragrances) for a complimentary scent experience from room to room.

Let wax melt to the edge on first burn and burn for 2 – 4 hours at a time to get the maximum number of hours out of your candle.
